Peabody woke to the smell of bacon and coffee. He opened his
eyes and saw Oscar looking at him.
"Hey, there Oscar," Peabody said. He petted him and got out
of bed. He walked into the living room and saw Lin sitting on the
sofa while looking at a laptop.
"Good morning, my love," Lin said.
"Good morning, Lin."
Lan walked out of the kitchen and took Peabody in his arms.
"Good morning, beautiful. Sit and I will bring your coffee.
Tina is outside."
Peabody sat next to Lin and saw he was looking at a website.
Oscar jumped up on the sofa, and lay down next to Peabody.
"Having internet access will help a lot with Abbott. I would
say with you, except you are doing so well, there is nothing to
research. Abbott woke up feeling tired and nauseous, probably due
to the calcium that is being added to his blood."
"I hope he isn't nauseous the entire pregnancy," Peabody
said. "What will we do if he is unable to host a baby?"
"Send him back," Lan said.
"I don't think he will want to go."
"I agree," Lin said. "But if he cannot host, there is nothing
he can do here. We don't need lawyers on Mars. There is nothing
else he could do. He has no technical skills and we don't want
tourists."
"How would Ban and Fon feel about it?" Peabody asked.
"They would be delighted, baby," Lan said. "You would be
their host again."
"Would you be happy or sad if he left?" Lin asked.
Peabody sighed. "Both, I think. Happy for me, sad for Abbott.
What do you think the chances are of him successfully carrying
them?"
"I wish I knew, Peabody! I am almost certain you will be able
to carry at least one. I don't know how Abbott's body will
tolerate what I will be pumping into it or the offspring. Will
his kidneys fail? Will his heart become damaged? What will Abbott
decide to do if his kidneys fail? What will Abbott do if he finds
himself unable to keep food down and has to be fed through an IV
tube?"
"I see."
"Are you ready to eat?"
Peabody laughed. "Good timing! We were just talking about
keeping food down, but sure, big daddy."
They sat at the table. Lan made omelets.
While they ate, Lan asked, "Do you want to go to Earth with
me when I pick up the house?"
"Lan, why don't you take him when you go on your second
trip," Lin suggested. "Not only will the house completely fill
the shuttle, but I am afraid Peabody will try to help." Lan
nodded.
"Yes. That does sound better."
"Peabody, I don't want you to lift anything when you go. I
won't be there. I need to stay with Abbott."
"Yes, studly doctor."
"In medical school, the other students thought I was a
woman," Lin said.
"You should have waved your dick at them."
"No. They might have wanted to dissect it!" They all laughed.
"Lan, I want to research animals for the park, anyway. I can
do that while you are making the first trip. If I think of
something, maybe I can pick it up when I go to Earth," Peabody
said.
"It's wonderful having normal conversations with Earth," Lan
said.
"Why didn't you put an FTL transmitter on the Moon before?"
Peabody asked.
"Before you came, we mostly sat around. There was no sense of
urgency at all," Lin said. "If it took thirty minutes to get a
response from Earth, it didn't matter. We were just sitting and
doing nothing, anyway."
"Oh."
They ate and after a while. Peabody looked at Lan and shook
his head.
"What is it?"
"You look like that and you cook like this! I am the luckiest
human alive." Lan smiled.
"This park is a wonderful piece of Earth, here on Mars. Did
any of you ever consider having a piece of your home world here?"
Peabody asked.
Lin looked at Lan.
"No. It never occurred to me," Lan said.
"Me, either," Lin said. "As I mentioned before, Earth has a
lot more types of vegetation than Tarsina. Tarsina is very cold
when it isn't very hot. You would not want to spend any time in
that cavern if we did. Think about the polar regions on Earth.
That is what Tarsina is usually like. A lot of ice and snow and a
few plants, most of them small."
"It was just a thought."
Pon and Mun walked into the cabin. Mun walked over and kissed
Peabody.
"Good morning, my love."
"Good morning, Mun," Peabody said. He wrapped his hand around
Mun's erection. "I see one of my favorite things is awake."
"His favorite person is awake!"
Peabody pressed his face into Mun's groin and sniffed. Mun
moaned.
Pon then kissed Peabody. Peabody stroked Pon's huge cock
while they kissed.
When Pon pulled away, he said, "Peabody, I think often of the
first time we had sex in the cavern. It was our first sex and my
first-blow job."
"It was fun! I think I would rather give you blow jobs in the
park, though!"
"Anywhere!" They all laughed.
Mun and Pon sat at the table.
"Comm. Get Lin," they heard Ban say.
"What is it, Ban?"
"Please come to Peabody's-or Abbott's room. He is feeling
very dizzy."
"I will be right there." Lin got up.
"I am sure it is from the supplements he is getting, but Ban
and Fon need to be reassured, and it won't hurt to check him
over," Lin said as he rose.
"See you later," Peabody said.
Lin walked out of the cabin.
"Lan, how much help do you need with the cabin you are
bringing from Earth?" Pon asked.
"I hoped Ban or Fon would go, but with Abbott sick, they are
not going to want to leave him. I know how hard it was for me to
leave when Peabody was sick."
"Yes, we thought that, too," Mun said.
"Why don't you come with me, Pon?"
"That's fine. Mun can keep Peabody company this morning." Mun
loved that idea!
Peabody finished, and Lan took his plate. Peabody took his
coffee and sat on the sofa. Mun sat next to him. Mun put an arm
around Peabody and Peabody leaned against him.
"What an attractive penis!" Peabody said, looking at Mun's
erection.
"I am very glad you like it, my love!"
"We can have fun later, but first.Lan and Pon, will you meet
me in the bedroom?"
Pon smiled. They walked into the bedroom.
"Do you know, I have never had the two of you inside me at
the same time?"
"Oh, that is a shame, isn't it, Lan?"
"It is. I wonder if there is something we can do about it."
"I have always wanted a pair of matching penises in each end
of me."
"It's a good thing you came to Mars, then," Pon said.
Peabody laughed. "I know!" Peabody said. "Pon, will you fuck
me while I suck Lan?"
"Absolutely!"
"I just thought of something. We should get a sex sling. Have
you ever seen one?" Neither of the brothers had. "It is a pad
which hangs from the ceiling. A person lies on it and their head
and ass are available. Because it is suspended, the fuckers have
the ability to swing their partners on their cocks."
Pon and Lan grinned. "We have something similar," Pon said.
"We will put one in here," Lan said. "Mun can install it
while we go to Earth. It will only take a few minutes."
"Great!
"Lan, why don't you get on the bed on your back?" Peabody
said. Peabody got between his legs on all fours. He wiggled his
butt for Pon. Pon got on the bed and pushed inside Peabody.
Peabody groaned and lowered his face to Lan's cock.
"Gravity, forty percent," Peabody said. The gravity lowered
and Peabody was able to hold himself up on one arm. He took Lan's
cock with his free hand and held it up while he began sucking
him. Lan ran his hands through Peabody's hair while he was
sucked. Pon thrust into his love. He really wished he could spend
an hour inside his host, but he knew Peabody wasn't strong
enough. After several minutes, he pushed deeply inside his love
and barked softly as he ejaculated. Lan was pulling on Peabody's
nipples when Pon slipped out of him. Peabody pulled off Lan's
cock and sat on it. He bounced on it. It was easy in low gravity.
Peabody held two of Lan's hands for leverage as he bounced.
"Beautiful! Beautiful!" Lan said. Then he too, barked as he
came inside his love. Lan's cock shrunk quickly and Peabody
climbed off him. He pressed his mouth to Lan's and they kissed.
Then Peabody got out of bed and hugged Pon. They kissed, briefly.
He and Pon walked out of the bedroom. Peabody got dressed.
"Mun, Peabody would like to have an entertainment swing in
here," Pon said.
"That will be fun!" Mun said. "I suppose we will need to test
it, Peabody."
"Oh, we definitely will."
Mun got up and took Peabody in his arms.
"Let's go to Earth," Lan said to Pon. They left the cabin.
Mun kissed his love and Peabody squeezed Mun's erection.
"You know, Mun, for the first time since I arrived, I don't
feel overwhelmed."
"What do you mean?"
"While we kissed, I didn't wonder who I was neglecting."
"Oh, my love. I am sorry you worried. You neglected no one. I
suppose it should have been expected since you were monogamous
before you came to Mars. I am glad you feel better though."
Peabody ran his hands over his lover. Mun closed his eyes in
perfect contentment. Peabody knelt and admired Mun's cock. Like
Ban's, it was the most human like. It would not have been out of
place on a man. Peabody licked a line from its base to its tip.
Mun moaned. He swirled his tongue over the head. Mun pulled
Peabody up and kissed him again.
"I will get the things for the swing."
"Hurry back!"
"Oh, I will!"
Mun left and Peabody went out onto the porch with his coffee.
It was another beautiful day, far below Mars' surface. Peabody
went back in the house and got one of the laptops. He took it
back onto the porch with him. He turned it on and smiled when he
brought up a web page. It was a little slow, but definitely
usable. He started reading. He had been reading about ten minutes
when Lin walked up to him.
"How is Abbott?"
"As well as can be expected. He is experiencing side effects
of the supplements," Lin said.
Peabody nodded. "Is he having second thoughts?"
"If he is, he didn't mention them."
"How are Ban and Fon?"
"They are fine. They are hovering over him. I wouldn't be
surprised if he starts lying about how he feels, just to get them
to stop. Fon said they both slept with him last night."
"Oh, I'm sure they both liked that."
"Yes, especially Fon. He has never been a favorite. Abbott
said he wants to sleep with both of them every night."
Peabody sighed. He thought he should be sleeping with Lin
every night, instead of every other night.
"No, Peabody."
"No what?"
"I can guess what you are thinking. After all, it is always
the same," Lin said.
"Am I that predictable?"
"Yes. You worry that you are neglecting me." Peabody laughed.
"I guess I am that predictable."
"Peabody, you neglect no one. You have sex with me every time
it is physically possible, and I know you love me. You will
eventually have to stop worrying."
"I suppose." Peabody sighed again.
"Did you enjoy sleeping alone with Lan?"
Peabody thought about that. He hadn't, really. He woke up
cold in the middle of the night for the first time on Mars. When
sleeping between Lan and Lin, he was always warm enough.
"I missed you."
"Oh. Well, that is easily fixed," Lin said.
But was it? Wouldn't Lan be upset if he changed his mind?
Stop it! He told himself. He had the right to sleep with whoever
he wanted. Lan slept with Lin for a long time and seemed very
happy.
"I am going to give it some thought. You will be sleeping
with me tonight. If I feel the same tomorrow night when I sleep
alone with Lan, I will change the arrangement."
Mun walked up to them carrying some equipment.
"Peabody wants an entertainment swing in the cabin," Mun
said.
"What a great idea. I suppose the two of us will have to help
test it!" Lin said.
"Yes, I want to be able to take one at each end at the same
time."
"Oh, Peabody!" Mun said. "I can't wait!"
Mun went inside the cabin. Tina ran to Peabody. Peabody put
the computer down and petted both dogs. He picked Tina up.
"Do you like Mars?" Tina licked his face. "That must be a
yes!"
He put her down and picked up Oscar. He petted him while he
held him.
"Do you think if they have puppies, there will be
developmental problems because of the low gravity?" Peabody asked
Lin.
"Do you mean as fetuses?"
"No. I meant after birth."
"I doubt it. They will be spending time under full gravity,
after all." Peabody nodded.
Peabody thought about taking Tina to see Abbott, but the car
was at the other end of the tunnel.
"We need another car, or baskets on the bikes."
"That is a good idea. The baskets would be very useful," Lin
said. "Comm, get John Drake."
"This is John."
"John, the bikes are wonderful, but we would like to be able
to carry things. Will you find baskets that will work on them?"
"Certainly. I found a larger electric vehicle. It is very
similar to a golf cart. I don't know if you know what they are,
but it should work fine for your purposes. It has plenty of
headroom and leg room. Also, the squirrels are here. I had a vet
check them. They are all healthy."
"That's great."
"John, Lan and Pon are on their way to Earth," Peabody said.
"Has the cabin arrived?"
"It will be here in about thirty minutes."
"Thanks."
"End comm."
Peabody was excited about the squirrels. He decided they
would have enough animals in the park for now. He closed the
laptop.
"I want to go see Abbott," Peabody said, getting up. "I won't
stay long, but we are a family. I don't want to ignore the fact
that he feels bad."
"Why don't I drive us on a bike? You can hold Tina. I am
certain Abbott would like to see her," Lin said.
"I should have thought of that!"
Lin smiled. "You don't have to think of everything. You
aren't alone anymore."
"That is very true."
Peabody put Oscar down and walked back inside the cabin. Mun
was installing the swing.
"Mun, I am going to say hello to Abbott. We will be right
back."
"OK. This should be done by then."
"Are you sure you don't mind helping test it?" Peabody asked.
Mun walked up to him and took him in his arms. Two of them,
anyway. He kissed Peabody.
"I've never used one. The others have. I am glad my first
time will be with you." Peabody hugged him, tightly and left.
He picked up Tina outside and he and Lin walked down the path
to the park entrance. Oscar run alongside them, taking detours
and then running to catch up.
"Sorry, Oscar. You will have to stay here," Peabody said.
"He can run alongside us," Lin suggested. Peabody laughed.
"I won't say, I should have thought of that!"
"Good."
They left the park and got on a bike. Peabody sat in front of
Lin who wrapped his third arm around Peabody while his two main
hands held the handlebar. They drove slowly and Oscar had no
trouble keeping up. They got off at the far end of the tunnel and
Lin picked up Oscar. Oscar looked worn out at the end.
"I don't know if Oscar will want to run all the way back to
the park."
"I can hold Tina with my third hand while you hold Oscar, if
we bring Tina back with us," Lin said.
They walked to Peabody's old room. They walked into the room
and put the dogs down.
"I guess you don't feel too bad!" Peabody said, laughing.
Abbott was naked and Ban and Fon were licking him. "I brought
Tina to see you. Do you want us to come back later?"
"No," Abbott said.
"After all, we can do this all day long," Ban said. Abbott
moaned and Peabody laughed.
He walked to the bed and handed Tina to Abbott.
"Are you feeling any better?" Peabody asked.
"I got distracted from it, anyway!" Abbott said. "I feel like
I'm starting to come down with the flu. You know, when you just
feel.off. A little dizziness and a little nausea. It's nothing
too major. Lin said these symptoms will probably continue. I can
handle it." Peabody nodded.
"Lan and Pon went to Earth for the cabin. Do you still want
to live in the park, or do you think you might want to stay
here?"
"The park, definitely. This room is nice, and is probably
more comfortable, but I love the park." Peabody grinned.
"We will have squirrels. Four males should be arriving
later."
"The dogs will love chasing them. Squirrels are very athletic
in full gravity. I wonder what they will be like in low gravity,"
Abbott said.
"That's true. I never thought of that.
"I am going to head back. I just wanted to see how you were
doing. Mun is putting up an entertainment swing."
"Oh, we should have one," Fon said.
"Oh, yes. Definitely," Ban said.
"What is it?" Abbott asked.
"A sex sling," Peabody said. Abbott laughed.
"I never, ever expected to have so much sex! Mars is
wonderful!" They all laughed.
"I agree!" Peabody said.
"Do you want us to leave Tina with you?" Peabody asked
Abbott.
"No. I will be going to the park in a little while, I think."
"Ban, John said he has found another vehicle for us," Lin
said.
"Oh, good."
"Peabody also suggested we get baskets for the bikes. John is
going to find some."
"That is also a very good idea, especially for our two-armed
hosts."
"Well, I will see you all later," Peabody said, as he took
Tina from Abbott.
He headed for the door. Once he was outside, Ban came out.
"Peabody, I want you to know how grateful all three of us are
that you are making Abbott feel so welcome," Ban said. "Abbott
really wants to figure out a way to thank you."
"Oh, no!" Peabody said, laughing. "You don't need to thank me
and neither does he. It's your colony. I am your guest."
Lin and Ban stared at him.
"It isn't our colony. It is your colony more than ours. You
are the host," Ban said.
Peabody stared right back. He remembered them telling him
when he arrived that homes were always owned by the host. It
didn't sink in at the time, and it wasn't sinking in then,
either! He just nodded.
"We need more Alaphin. I want to see terraforming started
before I die."
"Please stop talking that way," Lin said.
Peabody shook his head. "OK, but I really do think we need
more Alaphin."
"You know what I mean."
"I know. I just have trouble envisioning not getting old and
dying. Anyway the way I see it, we need another host and I like
Abbott. He doesn't need to thank me either." Ban hugged him and
they left.
They headed back to the park. When they were walking to the
cabin, Peabody saw a snail crossing the path.
"I wonder how many hitchhikers came with the plants."
"I'm starting to think there must be quite a few," Lin said.
"I think I will look around and make a list. I remember once
when I brought a hibiscus indoors during the winter, a lizard
came inside with it. There is no telling what all we have in
here."
They walked to the cabin. Mun was waiting for them. He took
Peabody in his arms and kissed him. Then he explained how the
entertainment swing worked.
There were four cables, each of which was attached to a half
sphere the size of a baseball on the ceiling. They were attached
to corners of a padded platform.
"Moving your hand up on one of the cables raises it." Mun
demonstrated. "Or lowers it. Moving two cables different amounts
change the angle." He showed that, too. "You can pull on the
platform to extend leg rests, arm rests, or a head rest."
Peabody pulled off his clothes while his spouses smiled at
him. The platform was on the floor. He lay down on it. It was
very comfortable. The padding felt like memory foam.
"Try raising it, my love."
Peabody grabbed a cable and slid his hand up it. The cable
felt like rubber. The platform slowly raised off the floor.
"Going up!" he said, laughing.
Mun pulled foot rests out and Peabody placed his feet on
them.
"Is it comfortable for you?" Lin asked.
"Yes, it's fine."
"Which end do you want us?" Lin asked.
"Lin, I want you to fuck me."
Lin moved between his legs. Peabody tilted his head back and
looked at an upside-down Mun. He reached for his cock, but
missed. He laughed. Mun moved until his dick was at his lips.
Peabody licked the head as best he could. He stopped as Lin
pushed inside him. Lin started thrusting and Mun slid into his
mouth. Peabody kept his lips around Mun and then proceeded. Every
thrust of Lin's pushed him onto Mun. Peabody wasn't sure he liked
being so out of control. Then Lin started a steady movement and
it began to work. Mun groaned as his cock slid in and out of
Peabody's mouth. Soon Lin was moaning, too. They kept it up for
several minutes Then Lin stopped.
"Is your neck sore, my love?" Lin asked.
Mun pulled out of his mouth.
"No. I am getting tired, though."
"Let's finish, Mun. Unless you want to come later," Lin said.
"I don't care when I come, now is just fine!"
Lin resumed and a minute later, Mun ejaculated into Peabody's
mouth. Yum, candy! Peabody thought as he swallowed.
A few seconds later, Lin barked as he came inside his host.
They both pulled out of him and Mun tilted the swing so
Peabody could get off.
Peabody kissed Mun and then Lin.
Peabody sat on the sofa and Oscar jumped up next to him. He
petted Oscar.
"Do you want more coffee?" Lin asked.
"Sure."
"What do you want to do today?" Mun asked.
"I thought I would go through the park and see what animal
life has come in with the plants. We saw a snail this morning. Do
you know what that is?" Peabody asked Mun.
"It's like a gelish," Lin said.
"Oh."
"Anyway, I am sure there are other things. Lots of insects, I
bet."
Peabody took Mun's hand and held it. Lin handed him a cup of
coffee and sat on the other side of Peabody.
"I never, ever imagined I would be as happy as I am. Ban and
Fon seemed happy, too. Didn't you think, Lin?"
"Yes. Fon, especially."
"They may be happy, but I feel happier," Mun said.
Peabody smiled at him.
"Have any of you given any thought about how we will keep the
birds, squirrels, and insects in the park?"
"No. I think a seal would work. Like on the stairs between
levels."
"That reminds me. I need a haircut."
"Why did that remind you that you need a haircut?" Lin asked.
"Because the seal might mess up my hair, which is already a
mess!" Peabody said, laughing.
"I'm a surgeon. I should be able to do it," Lin said. Peabody
laughed and then realized Lin was serious. He didn't want to go
to Earth every time he needed one, so it wasn't a bad idea.
"Do you have hair clippers?"
"No. Comm. Get John Drake."
"This is John."
"John, this is Lin. Our hosts will need haircuts. Will you
get any equipment-cutters, scissors, and anything else we need
for it?"
"Sure, Lin."
"End comm."
"The seal will work," Peabody said.
"I am going to talk to Ban about it. He may have more ideas,"
Mun said. He leaned over and kissed Peabody.
"Are you going to stay in the park?" Mun asked.
"Probably."
"I will see you soon."
"Bye, Mun."
Peabody drank some coffee. Then he went outside.
He lay on the grass on his back looking up. If you blurred
your eyes a little, he decided, then sky looked real. The grass
was very comfortable under Mars gravity. Oscar ran over and
started licking his face. Peabody laughed and walked over to some
bushes. He looked around on the leaves to see if he saw anything.
Lin walked over. "Do you want to do it the low-tech way or
the high-tech way, Peabody?"
"High-tech. We are on another planet, after all."
"I will get a life detector and be right back."
Peabody walked along the path. He decided to see if anything
was flying around the lemon tree flowers. Sure, enough, he saw
some kind of bee after he looked for a while. He hoped it wasn't
going to try to go back to its hive later! He hoped it was one of
the kinds that didn't build hives.
Lin came back with a black sphere the size of a tennis ball.
"Is that the detector?"
"Yes. It will seek out and photograph any life it finds."
"I hope it finds Oscar! And me!" Lin smiled.
"And me," he said.
Lin dropped it and it flew off the ground and right to the
bush next to him. An arm that looked like a car antenna extended
out of it into the middle of the bush.
While it was doing that, Peabody tossed a ball and let Oscar
and Tina chase after it. When they had enough of that, Peabody
sat on a chair next to the cabin. Lin sat down next to him.
"Is there anything you would like to see added to the park?"
Lin asked him.
"Well, I'm not sure. I was thinking it might be nice to have
a warmer area. Around the pool. The park is a little cool for
swimming."
"That is a good idea. It shouldn't be a problem. I will let
the others know."
"I think I will try the bicycle out."
"I will come with you?"
"As a doctor or as a lover?" Peabody asked, grinning.
"As your doctor-lover. With a hyphen." Peabody laughed.
They walked to the park entrance where the two bicycles were
parked.
"I suspect the one with the thicker wheels will work better."
"I'll try it."
Peabody got on.
"Try going very slowly and braking. I am not sure how the
brakes will work in low gravity," Lin said.
Peabody got on it and did just that.
"It seems fine. I am going to ride it slowly around the
park."
"Let me try the other one. Then we can ride together," Lin
said.
Lin got on it. He had a little trouble figuring it out, but
he got it going. When he tried to stop, the bike slid.
"I guess you were right," Peabody said.
"Comm. Get John Drake," Lin said.
"This is John."
"John, it's Lin. Will you order seven more dirt bikes like
the one we have?"
"I sure will. Lin and Pon left a few minutes ago with the
house."
"OK. Thanks. End comm."
Mun was at the cabin when Peabody rode by.
"The bike works?"
"Yes. Lin ordered one for everyone."
"Good!"
Peabody stopped and leaned the bike against the cabin. All
three of them sat.
"Ban said he is going to give it some thought. He thought a
seal was not a very attractive solution. He also said he is
investigating the possibility of enlarging the park. If this is
going to be where we spend all our time, he wants it bigger.
After all, there will be two houses, plus a bathhouse taking up
the existing space."
"I guess that makes sense," Peabody said.
"You were talking about having it warmer near the pool," Lin
said. "Part of the new area could be a larger pool. Something
like our other pool. I know you liked it. If it was in its own
room, with a door or a hallway to the park, it would be much
easier to raise and lower the temperature to whatever feels best
at the time. We could have glass enclosing it on the park side,
so you don't feel isolated."
"That sounds great! We could use the existing pool in the
park for fish," Peabody said.
"Good! I will let Ban know."
"Mun, please don't have everyone work on it non-stop like the
park."
"We won't."
"How is Abbott?"
"He said his dick is sore, but otherwise he is fine."
Peabody laughed. "He will have to tell them to leave it
alone."
"He will!"
"Are Ban and Fon happy?"
"Peabody!" Lin said.
"Yes, my love. They are," Mun said. "Abbott seems to be a
nice person. Ban told me he was very pleasantly surprised."
"That's great," Peabody said, sighing.
"Peabody, you look tired. Why don't you take a nap? Lan will
probably be back when you wake up."
"That sounds good." Peabody got up and walked into the cabin.
Oscar followed him and Tina followed Oscar. He got in bed and
Oscar jumped up.
He woke to the sound of a bang. He got up and heard more
noise. He walked out of the cabin and saw they were setting up
Abbott's cabin. Mun walked over. They were putting down the
floor. He assumed they had just started. Mun stood next to
Peabody.
"Lan is bring another section from the shuttle. He should be
back in a few minutes."
"Is Abbott in the old room?"
"Yes. Ban said he was taking a nap. I'm sorry we woke you."
"It's OK. I can sleep all I want. I'm going back inside."
Mun bent down and kissed Peabody.
"I love you, Mun."
"I love you, Peabody."
Peabody smiled at him and went inside. He went into the
kitchen and looked for a snack. He found some potato chips and
took the bag to the sofa. Lin walked in.
"How do you feel?"
"Fine. Hungry."
"Lan will be right back."
"OK."
Lin sat next to him.
"Is Abbott still OK?"
"I assume so. I've been helping with the house. Mun said you
were up. I would cook something for you, but the potato chips are
probably safer."
Peabody laughed.
"Where is Tina?"
"Mun took her to Abbott's room. The noise was scaring her."
"Oh, yeah."
Peabody leaned against Lin. Lin put an arm around him.
"We got the results of the life scan. I transferred it to
this laptop."
"Oh, good."
Lin picked up the computer and showed a bunch of thumbnails
of insects and other life.
"The number at the bottom right of each picture tells how
many of that animal were found."
Of course the birds showed up. Peabody looked at the
pictures. "Wow! Seventy-eight snails and three different kinds of
them." There were a lot of moths, several kinds of bees or wasps.
Ants, millipedes, grubs, a lot of beetles, and slugs.
"Hey! A lizard!"
"Is that good?"
"Yes, I guess so. We seem to have a lot of bugs, so I guess
it won't starve to death. It's nice having animals in here."
"They don't show on here; they arrived after the scan was
completed, but the four squirrels have been released. We let them
out on the other side of the park. I'm no judge of squirrels, but
they looked confused to me!" Lin said. They both laughed.
"I bet! There isn't a respectable tree on all of Mars, yet!"
Oscar came running into the house. He stumbled at the gravity
change and barked at the door. Peabody tried not to laugh.
"Oh, we have one Oscar in the park!" Peabody said when Lin
changed to a different set of photos.
"Yes. We have one Tina, too," Lin said.
"Hey! We have a Peabody! Just one, though," Peabody said.
There was a picture of him asleep on the bed!
"Yes. Personally, that is my favorite lifeform," Lin said.
"Oh, thank you." Peabody turned and kissed Lin. "I hope he
wakes up soon," Peabody said, feeling Lin's cock.
"If anyone can wake him up, it's you."
"Lin, how unusual is it for both Lan and you to be getting
two erections a day."
"Two eggs a day is the remarkable part."
"It is rare, but it happens. My personal opinion is that it
is partially because we went so long without sex. None at all
followed by constant sex."
"Was it constant? I don't remember that part," Peabody said,
laughing.
"My love, your eyes light up anytime you see one of our
erections. None of us have had one for long since you arrived. I
am definitely not complaining. You are absolutely and completely
wonderful." Peabody smiled at Lin.
"Does that mean it could stop and you could go back to one
egg a day?"
"Yes, definitely."
"Is there any special massage or maybe wiggling my butt-" Lin
laughed. "-that could make it start back up, if it stops?"
"We will just have to try it."
"Should I wiggle now? You don't have an egg." Lin laughed.
"I am certain I will have another one later."
"Oh, I am relieved."
They both laughed.
Peabody didn't say anything, but he hoped Pon and Mun would
start having two eggs a day. He had a new sex sling he wanted to
use and had no one to fuck him! On the other hand, he didn't want
to scare anyone by overdoing it.
Lin slipped his hand inside Peabody's shorts.
"It may be stiff, but I don't have an egg," Peabody said.
"What a shame!"
"Having fun, beautiful?" Lan said, as he walked into the
cabin carrying some bags. He put them down. Peabody jumped up and
ran to him. Lan kissed him.
"I missed you. I bet you are worn out," Peabody said.
"A little. What would you like for lunch? Do you feel like
having a roast beef sandwich? I brought them from Earth."
"That sounds great!"
"It will only take a few minutes. Go sit."
Lan started taking things out of the bags.
"Lin, Ban and Fon are worried about Abbott. They are afraid
he will die while they are setting up the house. I'm sure they
will be here soon," Lan said.
Lin sighed.
"Why don't you bring him here?" Peabody suggested. "He can
use the bed. If I want a nap, I don't mind sharing the bed. I can
nap on the sofa, for that matter."
"The sofa folds out into a bed," Lan added.
"Oh, good!"
"Thank you, my love. I think everyone will feel better that
way," Lin said. "I will see you soon."
Peabody kissed him. Lin got up and left.
"Is setting the house up a lot of work?" Peabody asked.
"Yes. Fortunately everyone can work on it. When we put this
one together, some of us were working on other parts of the
park."
"Ban said he wants to enlarge the park."
"Really? I hadn't heard."
"I mentioned to Lin that it was a little cool for swimming in
the park. He thought maybe one of the new sections of the park
could be a larger pool in a room with its own temperature
controls."
"That does sound like a good idea. That is the first thing I
thought of when Ban mentioned swimming in the park. I know the
temperature of the park is at the low end of comfortable for you.
You might get chilled."
"Of course, if you were there holding me-"
"That would be nice, I admit."
Lan put the sandwiches on the table and Peabody sat.
"Do you want to go with me to Earth?" Lan asked.
"Definitely. Did you see the vehicle John purchased?"
"Yes, we will bring it back with us. It is a lot less
attractive than the sports car, but a lot more functional. It can
carry a lot. I fit fine in it."
"It isn't like we will be spending a lot of time in it,"
Peabody said.
"Right. The top speed is only about thirty miles an hour,
which is fine."
"Lin did a life signs scan in the park. There is a lot of
wildlife."
"Really? Small?"
"Yes. Insects, snails, and one lizard."
"What is a lizard?"
"I'll show you later. It's a little scaled animal."
They began eating.
